Dear Subscriber First Name, Aside from January, September is usually a month of new beginnings. New beginnings can serve as powerful catalysts that draw us closer to God, inviting reflection and renewal in our lives. In the Bible, 2 Corinthians 5:17 reminds us, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." This verse encapsulates the transformative essence of starting anew; it signifies the shedding of past burdens and the embrace of fresh opportunities that God provides. Each new chapter of our lives not only allows us to experience God's grace but also encourages us to forge a deeper relationship with Him as we navigate ‘all the changing scenes of life’ as the great hymn suggests. Across our three lovely parishes things are beginning to start up again; Tiddlers, Cafe, Concerts, Quiz night to name just a few - there’s plenty going on over the next few weeks. Come join in, we can’t wait to see you. Love, Revd Grant
